I'm not sure what's going on with your program, exactly. Here's what I
tried:

>>start script<<
<?php

foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {
    $$key = $val; // do not know what this is supposed to do here...

    $email_body .= wordwrap("KEY: " . $key . "\n",70,"\n");
    $email_body .= wordwrap("VAL: " . $val . "\n",70,"\n");
    $email_body .= "\n";

}

print_r($email_body);

mail( 'tamara@localhost' , "Test Pipe To Program" , $email_body );
>>end script<<

(Note: according to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php:

"Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be
larger than 70 characters."

Which is why I added the wordwrap on each line and terminated the
lines with "\n" instead of "\r\n".)

Calling the script, print_r showed the string as expected:

>>start output<<
tamara@caesar:~/$ curl 'http://localhost/~tamara/testmail.php?a=1&b=2&c=3'
KEY: a
VAL: 1

KEY: b
VAL: 2

KEY: c
VAL: 3

>>end output<<

And the email message showed up in my inbox:

tamara@caesar:~/$ from
<www-data@caesar>	Test Pipe To Program

And the contents of the email are:

>>start email<<
